Wonderful Umbrella from storied Umbrella Maker Talarico in Naples.
GORGEOUS ELM WOOD AND NAVY BLUE CANOPY; MOTHER OF PEARLD BOTTONS, HORN TIPS AND HAND STITCHED RINGLETS.
They make the umbrellas for King Charles III, see pictures, for Pope Ratzinger and Pope Franciscus.
They were outlined on CNN some years ago. A lost treasure, three people working each piece by hand in a small shop in a Naples road. They are like a message from a lost time; again, everything is handmade.The ONLY maker in world who makes umbrellas not only from solid wood stick, meaning that handle and shaft are one piece, but they do NOT shave the shafts, leaving all that beautiful wood to show. Much more difficult to have a straight shaft whilst not shaving it.

THREE UNIQUE EXAMPLES OF A LOST ART.
ALL UMBRELLAS STANDARD 97 CM.
